"Your grandfather was scared today primarily because you don't smile often. Now, whenever you try to laugh, your face strains," Lin Shu put forth her theory.
Fang Zhi:"There aren't many occasions for me to be delighted, nor are there so many amusing things."
"I don't laugh not because I don't like to laugh, since my birth, I have not liked laughing," he retorted.
Lin Shu looked at his emotionless face, as cold as ice, and found herself nodding in agreement.
"So, you don't need to force yourself to laugh. If there isn't anything worth laughing about, you can maintain a relaxed face."
"Some people are born with resting grumpy face syndrome. Even when their faces are relaxed, they appear serious or even angry. You may be one of them."
Although Fang Zhi was loath to admit to any affliction, his face remained somewhat stiff. When silent, he conveyed an imposing air, which usually resulted in his subordinates avoiding conversation when they saw him.
